Hummels Shaw Sagna
arturo.vidal/yaya toure kroos/fabregas/xavi reus

Top is what I'd like to have, we really need a good enforcer and midfield strengthened.

Optional
Robben/Pogba/Llalana


Ideal lineup

sagna hummels thiago Shaw

vidal
mata fabregas/toure/xavi/pogba

rooney persie robben/reus/koke

well can't be spending too much money

Def $75M
Midfield $80m
Forward/Winger $40M

Savings/Balance of $5M out of $200m!
=====================================

As for the rest of the players backup and garage sale the rest. We sell to our rivals cheap provided they are on 7 yr contracts 200k per week

Backup Def
Jones/Rafael/evra/evans

Backup Mid
Carrick/Janujaz/Etc

Backup Striker
Welbeck/Chicarito

U don't like my lineup?

Lol jesse lingard and nick powell is going to play rb and cb? What weed are you smoking lol.

a 4123 formation is more conservative than LVG's traditional 4 3 3 formation. Mata has no pace and has to play somewhere central hence the 2 cm's, while arturo vidal is probably the best box to box midfielder currently who can push up to aid midfield and track back to protect the 4 backs which mind you is filled with 2 world class cb's and 2 very good fb's at least an upgrade defensively over rafael and luke shaw who is looking like he's going to claim England's LB as his own for the next 4-5 years.

Tbh i'm more used to a 4 4 2 formation where.

rooney persie

but the lineup is more LVG's total football. I don't see mata capable of shining anywhere except in a more central role because he doesn't have pace and have struggled the previous season playing wide roles. Thiago is a long shot because there's no way PSG will sell him and they are looking at improving their squad not selling their best players. But this is an ideal setup isn't it, and LVG has a reported 200m to spend doesn't he?

So the the setup is totally suitable btw, barca, real(previously) also use 4, 1, 2, 3



Let's take a look at barca's lineup in comparison with my lineup using 200m that LVG is supposed to have.

Alves Puyol Pique Alba
Busquets
Xavi Fabregas
Pedro Messi Inesta

Sagna Thiago Hummels Shaw
Vidal
Mata Fabregas
Reus/Koke Persie Rooney

And it boils down to the fact you know shit about football. Overall the team strength is above Barca except for Messi, Alves, Xavi & Inesta

P.s
Koke/Reus are versatile and can play l/r/c . And yes it boils down at the end of the day whether we can get any of these players but if money bags city can get them I don't see why we can't. We are money bags for at least this season after having saved for more than 5-10 seasons!
